I see that a LOT. I asked someone I know with a vintage bike about that once and asked if they knew the proper hand signal for a right-hand turn... they demonstrated that they, in fact, did know but that every time they use it, others on the road think they're waving to them instead of signaling a turn.... so they adapted using their right hand sticking out as an anti-idiot defense.

So, with that in mind, I asked people who don't ride if they know what the proper hand signal is for a right hand turn... and not a SINGLE person knew it (I asked probably 30 people).

Unreal.
